Why nerfs are hands down the worst idea EVER....

I'd like to start off with, many spend cash, time, and all kinds of in game resources to build their squads accordingly. Calling for a nerf of ANY champ is pointless. We have 6* champs coming soon. If anything, we should be calling for more buffs to the champs that will be BLATANTLY obsolete in such coming times. Content is already challenging even with some previously mentioned champs that are "too OP." We will be handing Kabam cash/time on a silver platter in exchange for table scraps if top champs are nerfed. There's already a scramble going on to rank up off beat champs to increase defender diversity in AW. Do you REALLY think the people who've invested their time, sometimes money, and effort to build up their champs want to hear noobs whine about a nerf? No, they don't. I never hear vets calling for nerfs as they've invested the time to learning how to defeat the tough champs. When you call for a nerf, you're waving a flag that says "I can't do it so no one can." It shows you aren't willing to get better. More over, it typically shows you haven't allocated these champs, in turn have no real experience using them. Also, in Act 5 they've introduced new abilities to the tiles. They're already rather difficult for those who are more advanced than I am. I REALLY don't think anyone wants to go in with less than they already have. I know I don't, and I don't have half the champs people are screaming nerf at. So in conclusion, perhaps get better at the game before whining in the forum, and screaming nerf. Better to ask for pointers and advice. Just my 2 cents.

    right now i can't see any overpowered champ the only thing that exist is weaker champs that need buffing . again nerfing a specific champ will make other stronger and the story goes on.
    i agree with u act 5 is challenging to every sort of players and the nerfing demandes are just a sort of :
    -people who got banned ( revenge)
    -inexperienced players aka summoners that are new to the game and found it hard to progress (they wanna progress overnight when people did it in years ).
    -people who are inactive and can't have a specific champ and the list goes on .....
    personaly id like to see some crazy hard content than nerfing a champ.

    We hadn't had a nerf thread in a while. That one today was one of the stupidest I've seen. Champs are pretty well balanced right now. Several do need to be buffed though, there just aren't crazy OP champs right now. Skill or money is required to progress at higher levels. If people are trying to compare themselves to what a YouTube guy does with a certain champ then you'll be disappointed. I'm a decent player but can't dream of playing like the Analyzer.

    There are so many things wrong with this topic that it is hard to know where to start. The current champions are not even close to balanced. I don’t think anyone is advocating attempting Act 5 with Kamala Khan or Luke Cage. The disparity between bottom tier and god-tier is ridiculous.

    It is too easy to dismiss people asking for nerfs as “noobs” or “unskilled.” It is just as likely, if not more so, that people who don’t want nerfs are just scared about losing their easy way to defeat the harder content.

    If people spent a lot of money to buy their way to better champions, that is their problem. Game balance is very important to the enjoyment and survivability of any game, and it doesn’t just affect the people who are trying to buy their way to the top.

    Insulting people who want nerfs is immature and really does nothing to enhance the debate. There are valid reasons for nerfing the god-tier champs and buffing the bottom tier. I wrote a reply to the other topic outlining my opinion, but the topic was closed before I could post.

    Please stop with all this "NERF" ****. Instead of asking for nerfs...how about asking for buffing champs instead. And yes I don't want my champs nerfed. I worked hard to get them. Enough said!!!

    Why call for a nerf to balance when you can call for buffs on the lower end champs? That makes more sense as there's people who have invested time in this. Then you have the option to increase your squad vs having things taken from you that you've taken the time to earn. It isn't their problem unless you make it a problem with a nerf. With a buff, you can have the option to build. There's no logic behind a nerf now as yes, we want to keep our supposed "OP" champs the way they are to help beat harder content. Wanting less vs wanting more. That's the difference between desiring nerfs vs buffs. Period.

    Players call for buffs on the lower end champs all the time. The two are not mutually exclusive. People will whine just as much if Kabam buffs all the lower end champs to god tier. They’ll say they wasted all their time and money getting the god tier champs and now the other champs they everybody already owns are just as powerful.

    The reason a lot of the newer champs go for such high arena cutoffs is because they are so much more powerful than the older champs. People don’t grind for them because they want a Marvel character they like or because they want to try playing as a different character. They do it to get the champs they know are OP. The problem with this is that it creates a never ending cycle of creating new ways to be OP. By balancing the new and old champs, Kabam can create demand by creating champs with new playstyles that are fun and unique instead of these immune-to-everything, super-powerful, buffs-all-the-time-for-no-reason champs they’ve been pushing out.

    That is not the only reason behind wanting buffs and nerfs. Period. Balancing the champions makes the game more challenging and fun for everyone. I have some of the god tier champions, and frankly, they’re getting boring. I could take a lower champ to make it harder, but that would feel like a waste of my time. I will probably need these god tier champs for the harder content, but that is because Kabam keeps having to make the content harder to provide a challenge for these god tier champions. Again, it’s a never ending cycle.

    It's meant to be a never-ending cycle..lol. Absolutely no one complained or whined when they buffed hulk. The game is pretty balanced. Great champs everyone wants but they're not stupid OP like they used to be, good champs that are very useful and just meh champs because they all can't be awesome. When I say balanced it's meant as game design. We need champs to strive for and be excited about or the game gets boring. If they all were like IP nobody would care. So no we don't need Nerfs and in a certain way the game is balanced.
